Just don't have a kidney infection! But, they are saying that probably wouldn't matter as it couldn't compete with the soil. I tried it with a potted plant and it thrived with 6 parts water and one part urine. It grew better than miracle grow. Must be fresh.

I highly recommend it.

Wow! That's interesting. I noticed they gave different ratios. How often do you use it?

I don't use it that often maybe one every week, or two depending on the plants. You can get a fertilizer and ph monitor for about 19.95 at Lowes. I mix mine 6 or 7 to one because my fertilizer be strong.

If you use too often you will be over fertilizing.

We live near a greenhouse and take their depleted potting soil for 20.00 for a truck load. We sprinkle the urine water on it and add some compost and it is usable again after the winter.

Must be fresh though or it gets stinky and turns to ammonia.

Correct this is for number one. I live too close to neighbors and don't have the facility to handle #2 nor do I want to as it stinks already. It is high in nitrogen so water down well. My chickens handle #2 for me in the garden during the winter.

I should put down another use for the 2 liter soda bottle haha.
